    Answered Tow rope….

    That is a great point. It reminded me of that dude who broke the speed record on a bike - his tow system was very simple

    is that for practice? Good idea if it is. The one in your link looks much better.

    Answered Tow rope….

    this looks like the same stuff that used to be sold for towing cars. It isn't bungy. It might have bungy type material in the middle. The sheaf is loosely woven and stretches out to it's maximum length under load. They are pretty light and not too big Towing is quite hard unless you're both...

    Fox Sues Sram

    Hah, I just watched a video on this topic; they said absolutely nothing about the actual feature :ROFLMAO:. So it was basically just an opinion piece on copyright infringement

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    I was told a similar thing (don't know if it was ibuprofen), again for a foot and ankle. I was diagnosed with crps - that was a new one for me; Chronic Regional Pain Syndrome. I was living on meds and just fed up. I looked into crps enough to get scared. I also thought "fuck that" :ROFLMAO...

    STEPS E8000 Motor Service

    I've been reading about the bearings here - I like what you say re the better protection of the bearings that you are discussing. Are you able to say what these bearings are or is this knowledge part of your business? If so, can I order these and whatever else you suggest for rebuilding an...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    Just looking at their site: 190gms for 20" and 260gms for 26". I only use one in the rear. You use a smaller tube because there is less space. I went with a thinner walled (still rubber) maxxis light weight tube; they were cheap and I'm on 3000km plus with no issues. It was a suggestion with the...

    MTB Fitness

    I actually introduced Gail to his emails - I was finding them useful. I haven't paid for his course - but this is because I've never been able to complete a normal gym routine, or even a split routine. I do some weights (two exercises each day) and stretching at home. The bike is my leg and...

    What tyres? The Ultimate Tyre Thread

    What about tannus tire armour? They have them for 26" and 20". With these you can then use whatever tires you like and not just those with some integrated protection. I can also recommend maxxis holy rollers - we use them on folding travel bikes for light off road. They're easy rolling and...

    Thank you for sharing. Are you saying that this is all you need to do? Awesome if it is.

    MTB Fitness

    My partner does. I'll get her to comment tomorrow. I do know she likes it and has been following it for about 1 year now. She says she is much stronger / fitter on the bike and can do more. She has always gone to gym, but not with a focus on mtb. OK, here she is; I promise I won't leave her...

    Fox Sues Sram

    I don't understand the valve - fox are talking about fluid flow and / or air. There also seems to be a channel between chambers. I know that motorbikes have had a valve, but that was different; it was simply to equalize the fork to the outside pressure. A small amount of air would go in or out...

    Fox Sues Sram

    if it is trivial stuff, why is it being copied? It seems that sram doesn't think it's trivial, or fox.

    Help with tyre pressures

    Well, only to show how different we all are and all the other variables. I'm also around 196 pounds. It's generally dry, rocky and steep, and I do some smaller jumps, gap jumps and drops but I'm still learning so sometimes I land front or rear heavy and bottom out that end. I have 29x2.5 dhf exo...

    Steep hill -- short hard braking or drag the brakes

    Where I ride it is generally steep and rowdy. I grab brakes and compress at the same time, when I can (a patch of smooth ground). I compress to maximise braking and not lose traction, but I'm sure we all know that. If I have to brake in rough stuff because there is bigger rough stuff -...

    Answered Sun Glasses Advice Please

    I seriously doubt that the effect in question in normal safety glasses is too small to comprehend. Consider that they are used in all levels of industry including labs and shooting ranges; I don't believe that is a noticeable effect. Business have to come up with reasons for you to part with...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Customer Service Frustration

    I'd be more inclined to think, being skeptical, that it is probably more of a business related decision. Hold the sale of another bike while they're selling like hotcakes so as to keep an owner happy, or sell another ebike and supply the swingarm when it doesn't mean missing out on another ebike...

    Fuel EXe TREK's new lightweight trail ebike

    it seems that many here consider emtb to be the same as mtb. I think this comes about if you don't actually consider your experience riding them and what has changed in your riding. I have acknowledged that they are different. I would never run the heavy tires and powerful brakes on non emtb -...
